Shiromiso-zōni from Kyoto is made using white miso.

Kabu-zōni containing white turnip is a specialty of Yamaguchi Prefecture.

Hakata-zōni from Fukuoka Prefecture contains pieces of Japanese amberjack and leafy greens.

A hearty bowl of gu-zōni containing chicken, fish, tōfu, and a variety of vegetables is from Shimabara in Nagasaki Prefecture.

10 December @abihastastybeans makes our duo team up for the Hogwarts decorations.

11 December @wearingaberetinparis takes us along on another cold night, heated up by the mutual attraction of our lovely idiots in this Muggle AU (pt 1) with...just the one bed.

12 December @charmsandtealeaves : Friends never let friends spend Christmas alone, and they certainly don't let them go without a tree.

13 December @dizzy--bird has your Jily Order AU fix, hiding together with your nemesis, away from everything during the holidays, in a safe house with only... you guessed it... one bed.

14 December @arianatwycross takes us to the evening before Christmas, an evening Lily spends with the Potters.

15 December @zephyrcove made our hearts melt with a drinking game, snow (on the beach) and just the perfect amount of angst.

17 December @notorious-lightning-thief has Sirius taking Lily to a Slughorn Christmas party, how did that happen?!

18 December @charmingwillow takes us Christmas shopping in Diagon Alley and James & Lily are just idiots of the loveliest kind.

19 December @maraudersftw gave us gifts on her birthday! Lily has a very important question to ask James.

20 December @annasghosts wrote about James and Lily driving through a snow storm. Stranded due to the weather there's only one room left and a most unhelpful hotel owner.

21 December @blitheringmcgonagall gave us Pining idiots, snowflakes, hungover deer, posh purebloods, non-existent snowball fights, Black Family vocab... and be sure to check out the movie that inspired all of it! (it's there. on the post. it's worth watching)

22 December @charmsandtealeaves it's not easy to get back to Hogwarts, due to the weather, and will you believe there was only one room left!?

-->But oh shit – all that took long enough that it was 11:30 PM! AKA prime “Countdown to Midnight”-watching time! I couldn’t have the gang (in particular Smiler) miss it AGAIN after what happened at the dance party last time! So I quickly slapped a TV into the sitting room upstairs in the house, then had Victor and Smiler teleport there and Alice use her super speed to run up to meet (unfortunately, she can’t tunnel into actual buildings – and DEFINITELY not onto the second floor!). Fortunately, they all arrived in good time, and everyone got to witness the countdown to midnight and properly celebrate this time around. :) Alice gave Victor a kiss on the cheek, and Smiler gave them a hug, aww. :) Seriously glad they made it – I would have been sad if they’d missed out on that tradition AGAIN.

-->And with that, it was time to head home! Alice made some Italian meatballs as both she and Victor were feeling hungry; Victor checked on the greenhouse and took the cone off Kelly; and Smiler entertained the kittens before heading to the barn to make some computer chips and mechanisms. Victor and Alice then went to bed as the holiday ended on a successful note for all of them. And Kelly adorably batted at the knitting box in the seance room. XD Might as well end on a cute note, right? Next time -- well, I happen to have played the next session on Black Friday, so it only felt right to do the gang running their grocery store. XD We'll see you then!

I have FINALLY made a good image showing off all my Canon-To-My-SB/R-Timeline Idiots (there are others but they occur after the Pizzaplex gets levelled) so shout out to the Animatronics and Mostly-Humans that my AU houses!

Under the cut will be some alternate images and more info.

Ooh you clicked the cut. You know what that means? A clearer image of these lot without the Transgender Lighting I put in over top because it looked CRISP!

Left to right by head position is Sun, Vanessa Masters, Vanny, Bonnie, Ennard, Chica, DJ Music Man, Balloon Boy, Vincent Volkov, Marionette, Monty, Elizabeth "Liz" Afton Schmidt, Eclipse, Circus Baby, Michael Afton Schmidt, Roxy, Cupcake Fredbear, Cassie Stevens, Moon, Golden "Goldie" Fredbear, Freddy Fazbear, Ballora, "Springtrap" Spring Bonnie, Gregory Fazbear, and Captain Foxy.

Cassie and Gregory in this are about 16-17, several years after the events of SBR. Cassie is thinking of going into robotics in college while Gregory is thinking of going into business. Cassie's Dad still works for the Animatronics, and Freddy adopted Gregory after the events of Security Breach/Ruin in my AU.

Sun expresses that all of the Animatronics are "Furries" because they have animal ears, no exceptions. Think about it for a minute.

Additional Bonus!

Idiot-less background! I took the intro cutscene of Security Breach, clapped out most of the colours, and then added in additional fog and colours to enhance it. It's not quite the screenshot anymore, but I think it's a pretty solid background that doesn't have to be obviously FNAF'd, lol.

I need to draw more of the idiots too, like I'm missing JJ, Deedee, Lolbit*, Bonbon, Bonnet, Minirena, Biddybab*, Electrobab*, Orville, Happy Frog*, Xor, Delilah Afton* (Liz and Michael's mom), and a few other additional Fazbear-Family Animatronics, and then I have three more Fangame-crews that are canon to my AU as well. Anyone with a * after their name has a finalized design, but I just don't have the full body reference to match these lot.

What Fangames are canon to my AU? Five Nights at Candy's, Popgoes, and Those Nights at Rachel's. Why? Because I like the groups. Also... There are other Animatronics too - and three of them have been here before!

Although I'm reworking Katlynn (Cat-Lynn), Discord, and Wendy's group presently and may add to some of their costumes when I make their full refs to match too. In my AU, Candy and Cindy know of Katlynn (being all cat-based), Marionette knows of Discord (and met her once in passing, but never got to say hi), and Ballora has heard of another "ballerina-type" Animatronic, although has never met nor seen anything for Wendy. These lot belong to a group (similar to Orville's group) that are off-brand Fazbear Entertainment Animatronics not run by Freddy, but still get to join the main crew.

Either way, that's enough of me screaming into the void about my FNAF AU, it's basically a FNAF-based OC world with only a small fraction of the actual FNAF Lore applying to it... and yes Remnant is canon. I am finding a way to explain it. I think. That may be more than what we get from actual FNAF lore, lol.

Typical School Day

Connie and Jeb always messing with each other

...which always ends up with them in detention.
